Try the "Action" tab, not "Advanced".

HTH.

Funny, I used to have a color group working and it no longer does.

Somehow, I configured a color group to highlight all messages from me
to any mailing list to which I sent a message.  The color group still
exists but I can't seem to figure out how to apply it to the filters
so that it will work.

I seem to remember that it involved Advanced Filtering, but I can't
find it on the menu, and the help screen doesn't mention it.  Am I
going blind?

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA,

Derek

Colour groups (was Re[2]: Need direction and a question)

[Januk Aggarwal]

Hello Vladimir,


On  Friday, September 01, 2000  at  00:46:15 GMT +0200 (which was 3:46 PM
where I live) witnesses say Vladimir Mincev typed:

 It can be highlighted with another colour, font, bolding, italics,
 etc.  See Options -> Message List Colours.
 You can set up colour groups there.

 Hmm, this is a recently added feature.  It might not have made it
 into the help file yet.

> How can I colour each message from each sender (for example: from
> Mike - blue, from Tom - yellow...)

 First create your colour groups as mentioned above.  Then you can
 create filters (Account -> Sorting Office/Filters) to create filters
 that can apply the colour groups automatically.  If you want, you can
 apply a colour group manually by right clicking on the message in the
 message list pane.  Select colour groups and view the options.

 Play around with it a bit and enjoy.

 If you need more specific help, please ask.

Can you explain to me what is coloured message? Just highlighted message with
another colour? I was looking for "colour group" in help file but with no success.
How can I colour each message from each sender (for example: from Mike - blue, from 
Tom - yellow...)

Hi Ming-Li,



ML> Since there's no way to edit a received message in TB, let alone
ML> doing it automatically, the only realistic way to do this is to
ML> export the message and do it with an editor, then you may import it
ML> back or save it as a text file. The whole process (including
ML> importing back into TB) could be automated with a better editor, if
ML> the part you want to save can be formulized.

I don't want to edit the message, I would like to take a single
sentence from the message and put into the reply to that message.  On
a quick glance it seemed that RE's could have done the job, but it
seems that they would take some time to learn.  I didn't want to invest
the time unless someone who knew said that's where the answer lied.

>> Also I'm having a problem using the "Replied Messages" sorting rule.
>> Can someone give me a quick "fer instance"?

ML> A common misunderstanding is to think of a Replied Message filter as
ML> one for your replies. It's not. It's for the messages to which you
ML> replied. Example? Well, I don't use it. But for people who regularly
ML> purge old mail, it might be useful for them to park those messages
ML> so they won't be deleted.

Thanks for clearing that up and a nifty use.

>> p.s. Welcome back Ming-Li!

ML> Thanks. :)
